Mistral AI & Stellantis Build Future of AI-enhanced Vehicles
Stellantis and Mistral AI are deepening their strategic collaboration to embed artificial intelligence (AI) across multiple areas, including vehicle engineering and in-car user experiences.
By harnessing Mistral AI’s expertise in large language models (LLMs) and AI-driven automation, Stellantis aims to enhance data analysis, accelerate development processes and refine customer engagement.
A key focus of the partnership is the creation of a sophisticated AI-powered in-car assistant, designed to offer real-time and natural language support to drivers.
This initiative builds on more than a year of joint AI projects aimed at boosting customer satisfaction, optimising product development and increasing manufacturing efficiency.
AI: Transforming the in-car experience
Stellantis and Mistral AI are collaborating to develop an intelligent in-car assistant that enables drivers to communicate with their vehicles using natural language.
This AI assistant acts as a real-time, voice-enabled user manual, allowing drivers to ask about vehicle features, troubleshooting issues or warning indicators and receive instant, conversational guidance.
Designed for continuous updates, the assistant will be adaptable across Stellantis’ diverse range of brands and models, delivering a smooth and intuitive user experience.
Implementing AI into key business functions
Beyond the in-car assistant, Stellantis and Mistral AI are advancing AI-powered solutions to enhance various business operations:
- Bill of Materials (BOM) data intelligence
Stellantis is deploying an AI-driven tool to simplify the analysis of complex component databases.
A chatbot powered by Mistral AI interacts with product data, helping engineers identify, compare and select parts more efficiently, leading to cost savings and improved decision-making.
- Vehicle feedback data analysis
AI automation processes feedback from development fleets and customer surveys, rapidly detecting patterns and recommending corrective actions.
This technology improves product quality and enhances customer satisfaction.
“Club Stellantis” virtual assistant

There are plans to extend this service to other European nations, broadening accessibility and providing better support for staff across the region.
- AI-powered anomaly detection
Stellantis is evaluating Mistral AI’s edge computing models to identify real-time manufacturing errors.
This innovation improves quality control and production efficiency by spotting issues before components are released into the production line.
Key leaders at the manufacturer and Mistral AI have emphasised the significance of their expanding collaboration:
“There are many players in the AI space and we’re delighted to partner with Mistral AI for its strong ability to adapt quickly and drive meaningful results in a highly collaborative way,” says Ned Curic, Stellantis Chief Engineering & Technology Officer.
